Did she die? (Would that stop her?)
Granted I've only read the Anita Blakes, but I'm going to go with a no. It doesn't seem to stop most of Anita's acquaintances.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I have spoilers for the sexin' (my sis MAY read as fast as I do. Almost. Heh.)
She said no sexin till page 344 (I think 344).And Merry only had actual sporkin; with one person. Some foreplay, but monogamous sporkin'. She was doing a read and post, sex-wise. It kept me entertained.
She intimated there was ACTUAL PLOT.
It's a night of miracles.
I was way into Michael Crichton in high school. He was one of my favorite authors.
crap. f*ck cancer.
Found this tidbit over at the sciffy site:
An original drawing of A.A. Milne's popular children's characters Winnie-the-Pooh, Tigger and Piglet fetched 31,200 pounds ($50,000) at auction on Nov. 4 in London, the Reuters news service reported.
OMG, I love E H Shepherd's illustrations!
The one with Piglet and the little rag of the balloon made me cry. I mean, last time I saw it, a few years ago, it made me cry. Gah. It's like Larkin's poem As Bad As A Mile for crystaiising that particular sense of piteous failure in a few quick strokes of the pen.
Speaking of a few quick strokes of the pen (couldn't resist), have you seen this?
I've somehow missed whether there's a name for a male Mary Sue. I'm thinking of the sort of character who's a doctor who lands a commercial airplane in an emergency; finds food and water in the wilderness; makes an electric generator with spare parts; is true to his one true love while being hit on by everyone woman he meets; and has steely gray eyes and a determined chin.
Marty Sue
Alpha male. (in current romance parlance... sorry, couldn't help myself.)
